Message from Dr. Michael R. Lonergan

Last night, the Longwood Central School District was saddened to learn of the passing of one of our precious children.

This tragedy has made a tremendous impact on the Longwood School community, and our Crisis Response Teams have been mobilized to meet the needs of our students, staff and school community at this difficult time. Our hearts go out to the family as they grieve during this time of tremendous loss.

A student death is a difficult and challenging situation that can generate a high level of anxiety and distress for some students. If you feel that your children are having difficulty, we encourage you to discuss their thoughts and feelings to help them work through their grief or concerns.

If you feel that your children need to speak to a counselor or other caring adult, please do not hesitate to call our schools and let us know.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me, your building principal, or your child’s school counselor.
